Biometric Verification: Identify the Real Face of Trust.
Faces carry unique, verifiable data – if you know how to read it. IDnow Biometric Verification combines liveness checks, face matching and privacy-first consent flows to confirm the real person behind the ID – accurately and at scale. Fast, compliant and a strong defense against attacks like spoofing and deepfakes, our biometric verification converts selfies into verifiable identity signals you can act on.
Real Trust Starts with Real People.
From account opening to high-risk transactions, account recovery, or continuous access to services, biometrics add the human link that documents alone can’t provide. We design biometric verification to fit your risk model – sub-second automated checks for low-friction journeys, expert-led sessions for regulated use cases, and in-person confirmation at points of sale when required. The outcome: fewer false accepts, smoother journeys for legitimate users, and stronger protection where it matters most.

What we analyze
We run hundreds of checks – visual, algorithmic, structural, biometric, and behavioral – to ensure documents are valid, authentic and not a fraudulent creation.
Reality Check: Fraud in Action
A fraudster using a stolen ID tries to trick the system by using a photo of the ID holder instead of a live selfie. Our face match flags the attempt at impersonation instantly, blocking the fraudster before onboarding proceeds.
Reality Check: Fraud in Action
A fraudster submits a deepfake video to bypass verification. Our liveness technology detects unnatural facial movements and blocks the attempt, stopping identity theft in its tracks.
Reality Check: Fraud in Action
A user submits a low-quality video with insufficient lighting. Our system requests a clearer capture to prevent misidentification, keeping your process accurate and compliant.
Reality Check: Fraud in Action
Multiple attempts from the same device show erratic behavior and failed liveness tests. Our solutions identify a coordinated attack and stops the onboarding immediately.
